Summer Book Bingo Update

June 13, 2018 By Carole

Last week I shared my Summer Book Bingo card but told you I didn’t have a plan for how I was going to track my reading. After some searching on Instagram and Pinterest, I came up with an idea of how I wanted the 2 page spread to look.

Wa-la:

It’s fun and functional and organized. In other words, it suits me perfectly!

And, as you can see, I’m already tracking books. In fact, I took this photo last week and I have filled in 3 more Bingo squares since that time. For now, though, here are my first three:

Square #4, Originally Published in the 21st Century: Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin
A fast read and one I expected to be lighthearted and humorous. It was – at times – but it was also so much more. It turned out to be a thought provoking read on feminism, politics, and the double standard that women face over and over again.

Square #9, Latest Book by an Author You Love: The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian
I’m a big fan of Bohjalian’s writing and I love that his novels are all pretty different from each other. This one, while certainly not his best in my opinion, has a good story and it’s a quick read. I thought the ending was a little far fetched but overall I enjoyed the book.

Square #14, Set In More Than One Time Period: An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon
Jamie and Claire never disappoint, I love their love story.

It’s going to be a great summer of reading!

    You’re off to a great start! (and I am way overdue to share an update on my summer reading … I finished my 6th book this morning – no bingos yet, but I’m closing in!)

    Great way to track your Bingo card and so beautiful/artistic. I’ve got 3 books under my belt, too, but I am FAR from a bingo.

    Your tracker is organized and whimsical, I love it! You have a really great start on Bingo. I liked the Flight Attendant, too. Just started Young Jane Young. I am looking forward to it. Have fun filling in your card.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
